Death, burial, and the afterlife were as important to the ancient
Egyptians as how they lived. This well-illustrated book explores
all aspects of death in ancient Egypt, including beliefs of the
afterlife, mummification, the protection of the body, tombs and
their construction and decoration, funerary goods, and the funeral
itself. It also addresses the relationship between the living and
the dead, and the magico-religious interaction of these two in
ancient Egyptian culture.Salima Ikram's own experience with
experimental mummification and funerary archaeology lends the book
many completely original and provocative insights. In addition, a
full survey of current development in the field makes this a unique
book that combines all aspects of death and burial in ancient Egypt
into one volume.
